UniProt functional annotation for P12368

UniProt code: P12368.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: Regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinases involved in cAMP signaling in cells. Type II regulatory chains mediate membrane association by binding to anchoring proteins, including the MAP2 kinase.
 
Subunit: The inactive form of the enzyme is composed of two regulatory chains and two catalytic chains. Activation by cAMP produces two active catalytic monomers and a regulatory dimer that binds four cAMP molecules. Interacts with AKAP4 and CBFA2T3 (By similarity). Interacts with the phosphorylated form of PJA2 (By similarity). Interacts with MYRIP; his interaction may link PKA to components of the exocytosis machinery, thus facilitating exocytosis, including insulin release. Forms a complex composed of PRKAR2A, GSK3B and GSKIP through GSKIP interaction; facilitates PKA-induced phosphorylation and regulates GSK3B activity (By similarity). Interacts with ADCY8; inhibits adenylate cyclase activity through PKA phosphorylation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P13861, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17827149}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with PJA2 in the cytoplasm and the cell membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Four types of regulatory chains are found: I-alpha, I-beta, II-alpha, and II-beta. Their expression varies among tissues and is in some cases constitutive and in others inducible.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by the activated catalytic chain.
Similarity: Belongs to the cAMP-dependent kinase regulatory chain family. {ECO:0000305}.
